2. Study at least 3 Tools available for Machine Learning and discuss pros & cons of each
3. Take an example of a classification problem. Draw different decision trees for the example
and explain the pros and cons of each decision variable at each level of the tree
4. Outline 10 machine learning applications in healthcare
5. Give 5 examples where sequential models are suitable.
6. Give at least 5 recent applications of CNN
PRACTICAL EXERCISES: 30 PERIODS
1. Implement a Linear Regression with a Real Dataset
(https://www.kaggle.com/harrywang/housing). Experiment with different features in building a
model. Tune the model's hyperparameters.
2. Implement a binary classification model. That is, answers a binary question such as "Are
houses in this neighborhood above a certain price?"(use data from exercise 1). Modify the
classification threshold and determine how that modification influences the model. Experiment
with different classification metrics to determine your model's effectiveness.
3. Classification with Nearest Neighbors. In this question, you will use the scikit-learn’s KNN
classifier to classify real vs. fake news headlines. The aim of this question is for you to read
the scikit-learn API and get comfortable with training/validation splits. Use California Housing
Dataset
4. In this exercise, you'll experiment with validation sets and test sets using the dataset. Split
a training set into a smaller training set and a validation set. Analyze deltas between training
set and validation set results. Test the trained model with a test set to determine whether your
trained model is overfitting. Detect and fix a common training problem.
5. Implement the k-means algorithm using https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Codon+usage
dataset
6. Implement the Naïve Bayes Classifier using
https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Gait+Classification dataset
7. Project - (in Pairs) Your project must implement one or more machine learning algorithms and
apply them to some data.
COURSE OUTCOMES:
Upon the completion of course, students will be able to
CO1: Understand and outline problems for each type of machine learning
CO2: Design a Decision tree and Random forest for an application
CO3: Implement Probabilistic Discriminative and Generative algorithms for an application and
analyze the results.
CO4: Use a tool to implement typical Clustering algorithms for different types of applications.
CO5: Design and implement an HMM for a Sequence Model type of application and identify
applications suitable for different types of Machine Learning with suitable justification.
